Eligibility for UMA

NAUTICAL SCIENCE

The Nautical Science Department of UMA is committed to provide the highest standard of maritime education and training for the pre-sea, post-sea and ancillary courses for the nautical students in compliance with the requirements of the STCW Convention (1978, as amended and STCW Code 2010) and that of the Department of Shipping Bangladesh.

The goals are to groom the cadets as world class merchant marine officers and provide education and training to them for excelling their competency, efficiency and professionalism while working on board vessels.

The Nautical Department has installed state of the art simulators for ship handling, bridge team management, electronic navigation, communication and liquid cargo handling complying with the STCW requirements.

We also believe that being in conducive residential environment during training will make the cadets proper seafarers for adaptability to the marine life in terms of living conditions, meals, manners, physical fitness and above all the officer like qualities and to encounter the rigors of the marine profession.

We therefore, assure that the Marine Deck officers receive the highest grade of maritime education and training in UMA leading to excellence in proficiency and competency in the their career.

A group of highly trained & experienced Nautical instructors are dedicated to assist the Nautical Cadets to achieve their goals.
